• Full of Wow.... Infant Heart Surgery.
• Heart Artificially ARRESTED: no ECG activity (on the left monitor.)
• Body Temp: **20** degree. Artificially lowered. (on the left monitor). to save the organs from no blood circulation.
• Time limit: 45 mins. to save brain without circulation.
• Brain pO2 monitored to avoid brain ischemic damage: 40mmHg. almost limit. (on the Right monitor)
• How to arrest the heart: Interestingly exactly the same solution for organ preserving fluid for Kidney Transplant. It contains 10mmol/L K+, which surely arrests the heart (temporarily), and others.

It is the first time for me to directly touch the beating heart (open chest surgery), which is amazingly strong(partly due to Dobutamin). A doctor said the heart is the last organ to be burned in cremation.
